Chapter 8 The county is broken
Wang Bingyun returned to Jia County.
At this moment, he can be described as proud, this time he went to the county town to make a point, and he successfully got double the money, food and armor.
Wang Bingyun is not greedy, but now he has a lot of plans. He distributed the supplies he received to his soldiers without the slightest reservation. Not only that, but he also sent people to the surrounding counties to recruit new soldiers, and in just a few days, he had ten sentinels and horses in his hands.
Among the ten sentinels and horses, Han Yuan, Ma Erhan, Dahu, and Shunzi, these four teenagers from Daliang Town each received a sentry. Among the remaining six posts, two of them were Wang Bingyun's original county soldiers, and the sentinels were called Wang Darong and Shen Zhong. The remaining four sentinels are newly recruited soldiers, and the sentinels are Huang Biao, Jin Shouhua, Yang Yongxing, Dong Dahei, these four are the same as Han Yuan and others, they originally had no foundation, and they were all newcomers promoted by Wang Bingyun.
Wang Bingyun was very satisfied with Han won, especially after hearing about Han won's various performances during his absence, he became more and more relieved about Han won.
Because of the chaos in the world, Wang Bingyun did not dare to disperse his troops, so all the officers and soldiers of the ten sentinels under him were placed in Jiaxian County.
The recruits were fully armored and looked presentable. Wang Bingyun is stepping up his training every day, and what he wants is a capable division.
Wang Bingyun knows that the recruits lack nothing else, and the only thing they lack is actual combat. An army without actual combat is just a show, and there is no combat effectiveness.
In order to let the recruits see blood, Wang Bingyun sent out the soldiers and horses in the city from time to time to fight the nearby bandits.
Since the Western Thieves entered Chuzhou, all counties and counties have been slaughtered to varying degrees. For a time, the place lost its original order and became chaotic.
Many local bandits and bandits in Chuzhou were originally shrunk in the deep mountains and old forests to survive, but now they have all gone down to the mountains to take advantage of the fire to loot those counties, towns and villages that have been completely destroyed.
During the days when he went out of the city to suppress bandits, Han Won killed people for the first time.
Although Han Won was mentally prepared before leaving the city, his heart still shook violently when he swung the butcher knife and saw blood splashing out of other people's throats.
At that time, he resisted the urge to gag, resolutely slashed the knife in his hand, and completed his first test in the troubled times.
As the number of trips out of the city increased, five or six strangers fell under Han won's knife. At this time, he was numb, and it turned out that killing a person was no different from killing a dog.
Others are in a similar situation to the won.
Ma Erhan's hands trembled when he first killed someone, and he couldn't sleep that night. And now he has completely adapted to this matter, and he even competes with the big tiger to see who kills more people.
Although these bandits and bandits are not much different in number from officers and soldiers, they are surrounded by mountains and do not belong to each other, and their equipment is extremely poor, so they are not opponents of officers and soldiers.
However, after all, the bandits were used to licking blood with knives, and their will to fight was still very strong, and Wang Bingyun's men still lost 100 officers and soldiers.
…
Wang Bingyun's training outside the army achieved initial results, and the county guard frequently sent people to urge him to immediately lead his troops back to the city.
At the beginning, Wang Bingyun waited for people to eat and drink, and tried his best to express his loyalty to the county guard and his belief in going to the soup for the court whenever he had the opportunity. After a few words, the people were convinced, and they went back to their lives stupidly.
But after dozens of days, Wang Bingyun still did not return to the city. The county guard panicked at this time, sent several groups of people in a row, and issued one document after another, almost in a begging tone to ask Wang Bingyun to lead the troops back to the county. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't pull away, the county guard would have wanted to come to Jia County in person.
Wang Bingyun tried his best to be perfunctory about this, but he just shirked that his army was suppressing bandits in the counties, and his troops were scattered, and he would return to the county when his troops were concentrated.
By now, anyone can hear that Wang Bingyun is talking empty words.
Counting up, Wang Bingyun can go from one team to all of them, and the Gaoyang County Guard can be said to have the grace of knowing him.
In order to support Wang Bingyun's military training, the Gaoyang County Guard allocated almost all the money, food, and armor in the treasury to him. The other two battalions of soldiers and horses in the city barely caught any oil and water
It's hard to imagine what kind of mood the county guard in Gaoyang City is at the moment. Maybe he was thinking that his subordinates for many years looked like vultures on the surface, and he didn't expect that his skin was as thick as the city wall.
Wang Bingyun can't expand his troops in the short term, and the materials he has on hand can only barely feed the soldiers and horses of ten sentinels, and if there are more, he can only rob them like a thief in the west. Therefore, now he just wants to honestly train his army. As for returning to the county, huh.
…
Before you know it, the weather is suddenly getting cooler in August. The air was filled with a sense of murder.
Wang Bingyun never sent troops.
Goyang-gun unsurprisingly fell. Nearly a million innocent people have died, and blood has stained the streets of the city.
The county guard fled before the city was broken. Now he is a repeat offender in the imperial court, and the loss of the county seat is enough to punish his nine clans. However, his wife and children in the city did not die in the law of the imperial court, but fell into the hands of the western thieves, and life and death were unpredictable.
Wang Bingyun followed the idea that Han Yuan had given him in the Jiaxian prison before, and he kept his troops standing still and watching the situation. It wasn't until the Western Thieves looted the entire Gaoyang City into the ground and finally left satisfied, that he entered the already dilapidated county town under the banner of recovering the county town.
The actual situation of Gaoyang County is not clear to the secretary of Nanping Province. He only heard the news that Gaoyang County had been captured by the Western Thieves, and then he heard that there was a commander who was training outside to lead the army to recover the county town, and that's it.
The secretary of Nanping Mansion immediately sent a document of appointment to Wang Bingyun, who was stationed in Gaoyang, in which he greatly praised him, promoted him to be a brigade general, and made him in charge of the seven counties of Gaoyang, recruited troops on his own, and cleaned up the mess.
In fact, long before the city of Gaoyang was broken, the secretary of Nanping had already received an urgent document from the Gaoyang County Guard. It's just that the Nanping Mansion Secretary didn't take it seriously at that time, he felt that there were three battalions of soldiers and horses in Gaoyang County, which should be able to resist the western thieves for a while. And the soldiers and horses of the three brigades on his side couldn't move at all at once.
Not only Nanping, almost the entire Chuzhou is used to living a peaceful life, and there has been no major military incident for hundreds of years.
Because there was no war to fight, almost all of the military funds allocated by the imperial court to the states every year went into the pockets of the city chiefs. Moreover, the imperial court's treasury has been empty in recent years, and the money and grain that can be allocated to various places every year have been greatly reduced.
These money and grain, step by step, have already gone to most of the capital city before they arrived, let alone to the county.
In comparison, the former Gaoyang County Warden is a relatively honest and good official, at least he can still make up two battalions of supplies for Wang Bingyun.
Besides, the reason why Nanping Fuqing did not send troops to rescue Gao Yang was first because the military funds were misappropriated by him. Without money and food, it is difficult for the army to move an inch; Secondly, he can't spend his own money to let the soldiers go out of the city to fight, doesn't this mean that he will announce to the outside world that the military expenses have gone into his pocket; In the end, Nanping Mansion Secretary is still clear about how many catties and taels this group of Qiu Ba under his command has. Let them defend the city is still reluctant, and go out of the city to fight, it's better to be spared.
